BE HERE NOW
BE HERE NOW
BE HERE NOW
Be Here Now, this was the last installation & performance that I curated and created in the Gallery that I owned and operated from 2009-2013. Over the course of four years I performed the part of a Gallerist, researching the part becoming the character, I began glancing into the future and realizing my motivations were leading me down a narrowing path that began to lack freedom and a fulfilling purpose.
By 2011, I would be consumed and confronted with my own death, my legacy and its temperance, igniting an illuminated path, beckoning me out of the darkness. By the end of 2014 I was cooked, clinging to an identity I no longer recognized, struggling to free myself yearning for the end credits. Still suffering in desire and bumping into abandoned opportunities haunting me like hungry ghosts. The chord cutting ceremony was in order, It was going to hurt to concede but as I spoke the words Be Here Now i knew what needed to be done. I closed the gallery and on the last day I welcomed myself home with a smile.
*Over the course of these four years I documented my experience addressing an audience that never saw the video entries I created, one of my dreams is to realize and help to manifest a finished documentary, to share my journey to tell my story and to connect with you.
